| Description of the problem | Vehicle hesitated first time while going 50 mph after refueling - regular gas. Checked the tach, went to almost zero, then back up again. Rode rough for a while. Stalled first time after refueling w/ regular gas, @ 35 mph, almost causing me to hit a curb - loss of power steering and brakes. Restarted okay. Stalled a 2nd time after refueling at red light, just 500 ft from gas station. Took 2 times to start it. When we figured it was not a bad tank of gas, we had our local mechanic check it, and we paid over $200. 00 for a crankshaft position sensor to be replaced. But we refueled the van soon after, and it stalled out again. That was when i decided to look online to see if anyone else has encountered the same problem. I was amazed at how many people had complained, and were told it? S not a known issue. It sounds to me like dodge/chrysler doesn't want to accept responsibility for the problem. I checked online and found 40 complaints for the same issue here: http://en. Allexperts. Com/q/chrysler-repair-807/f/stalling-refueling. Htm [dodge caravan and/or chrysler town & country stalling after refueling]. They all called dodge/chrysler and were told that it wasn't a known issue. Please follow through on this, and have dodge/chrysler rectify it before someone is killed. Here is a page not by dodge that gives the solution: http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice. Com/engine-stalls-after-filling-tank-chrysler-minivan/ the remedy is to pay over $700 for an entire tank, because chrysler doesn't sell the part alone, which is the vapor/liquid separator valve. Please help! |
